On Discouragement

When I don't know what to say or think... I seek truth in God's word.

In this case, I'm a little weary thinking about how long I've been waiting for the future to get here... you see, it's wedding season. Now, while I'm very happy for all those folks who are happily tying the knot, sometimes I feel a little left out. Anyway, that's a whole other story in and of itself, and I'm sure there are plenty of other bigger issues people are facing out there. 

So if you're bummed out because of the rainy weather, or your dream has been delayed again, or you're feeling stuck because work is hard to come by, or you're waiting for that special someone; take heart, God's got this. Let's trust Him. And instead of thinking about the what ifs, or I could haves, or should haves... there are plenty of truths we could be filling our minds with, here are a few:



2 Samuel 10:12 NKJV
Be of good courage, 
and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God.
And may the Lord do what is good in His sight.


Psalm 27:14 NKJV
Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!


1 John 5:1,4-5 NLT
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God... 
For every child of God defeats this evil world,
and we achieve this victory through our faith.
And who can win this battle against the world?
Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.


John 16:33 NKJV
These things I have spoken to you, 
that in Me you may have peace. 
In the world you will have tribulation;
but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.


Isaiah 40:31 NKJV
But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength; 
They shall mount up with wings like eagles, 
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.


Psalm 31:14-15a NLT
But I am trusting you, O Lordsaying,
“You are my God!”
My future is in your hands.
